Can Jason Pinnock Earn a Role in the Giants' Safety Rotation? Will Pinnock emerge as a surprise starter alongside of Xavier McKinney?

JUNE 29, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Shows improvement in second season Pinnock played in 14 regular-season games in 2022, totaling 41 tackles (34 solo), 1.5 sacks, three defended passes, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

Impact Pinnock moved from the Jets to the Giants in late August and began the season playing almost exclusively on special teams. He got an opportunity for an increased role when Xavier McKinney hurt his hand during the team's Week 9 bye, and Pinnock recorded 36 tackles, 1.5 sacks and three pass defenses over New York's subsequent seven games. Pinnock has two years remaining on his rookie contract, and his role next season could be substantially impacted by whether the Giants elect to bring back impending free agent Julian Love.

Full activity on Tuesday's estimate Pinnock (abdomen) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's practice estimate, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Pinnock was carted off the field with an apparent abdominal injury during Sunday's wild-card matchup versus Minnesota, but he's since traveled back to New York with the team and has popped up on Tuesday's practice/injury report as a full go. The 23-year-old is currently in line to resume operating as the Giants' starting safety alongside Xavier McKinney in Saturday's divisional-round contest if Julian Love (hamstring) misses another game.

Impact Pinnock left Week 18 with a shoulder injury, but he doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's wild-card matchup after logging a full practice Friday. The Giants didn't list any players as out, doubtful or questionable, so they should be fully healthy for the playoff matchup.

Impact It was a busy tackling day for the Giants' safeties, as Philadelphia consistently got into the second level on the ground, averaging 8.2 yards per carry on 31 attempts. Pinnock set a new single-game career high for tackles while notching at least five for only the second time this season.

Available Thursday Pinnock (jaw) is active for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Pinnock dealt with a jaw injury this week and was listed as a limited participant on each of the Giants' practice reports. However, he'll be able to play through the issue on Thanksgiving Day. He's had increased playing time on defense over the last two games and has tallied seven tackles (six solo), including 1.5 sacks, during that time.

NOVEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as limited Monday Pinnock (jaw) was listed as limited on Monday's injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Pinnock's ability to put in some work Monday is encouraging as he recovers from a jaw injury that knocked him out of the Week 11 loss to Detroit. New York doesn't have much time to dwell on the 31-18 defeat, as the Giants have a big Thanksgiving game on tap Thursday against the NFC East rival Cowboys.

NOVEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Forced out Sunday Pinnock (jaw) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Lions, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Pinnock recorded three tackles with one tackle for loss before exiting with a jaw injury at some point Sunday, though the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear. The second-year safety primarily played on special teams over his first six games of the season, and he'll now have a short week to recover before the Giants' matchup against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving day.

Giants' Jason Pinnock on a mission to prove he's 'not just a special teams guy' Prior to Sunday's 24-16 win over the Houston Texans, New York Giants safety Jason Pinnock had played just one defensive snap this season.

NOVEMBER 16, 2022 • NJ.COM

Shines with increased opportunity Pinnock tallied four tackles (three solo) and was credited with 1.5 sacks Sunday in a Week 10 win over the Texans.

Impact Pinnock came into Week 10 having played almost entirely on special teams over his five contests, but he was thrust into a larger role after Xavier McKinney was placed on IR with a hand injury. Pinnock made his presence felt early in the contest, splitting a sack with Dexter Lawrence on Houston's first offensive series. He added a full sack with under a minute left in the contest and logged two solo tackles in between. Pinnock's contributions in the win should earn him continued opportunities moving forward, especially while McKinney remains out.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Week 8 Pinnock (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Pinnock is slated to suit up Sunday against Seattle, after he missed each of the Giants' previous two contests due to an ankle injury. The second-year pro has played primarily on special teams thus far in 2022, and that likely won't change in Week 8.

OCTOBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Week 7 Pinnock (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Impact The 23-year-old was considered questionable with the ankle injury and will end up sitting out a second straight game. Pinnock's absence shouldn't affect New York's defense since he's played only a single defensive snap this year.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Week 6 Pinnock won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Ravens due to an ankle injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pinnock didn't practice at all during Week 6 prep, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. However, he's played primarily on special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't have a major impact on New York's secondary.

OCTOBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play in Week 2 Pinnock (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Panthers.

Impact Pinnock was limited at practice all week and won't be available for Week 2. He played exclusively on special teams, so his absence shouldn't impact the Giants defense, though Dane Belton will be the only healthy safety behind Julian Love and Xavier McKinney.
